This year is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of Meizu. As the end of the year approaches, with the arrival of the third-generation Snapdragon 8, Meizu has once again found the right time to launch a new generation of flagship phones – Meizu 21, inheriting the classics of the Meizu 20 series. The “unbounded” design introduces the new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 performance iron triangle and challenges the world with an ultra-narrow physical quadrilateral of 1.74mm.

It has obtained the Meizu 21 Unbounded Black color in advance, and we will conduct a detailed and comprehensive review of it next.

First, let’s take a look at the main features and detailed parameters of Meizu 21.

1. The third generation Snapdragon 8 performance iron triangle

As the flagship product in 2023, Meizu 21 is undoubtedly equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, supported by the TSMC N4P process, ensuring the release of energy efficiency and high performance.

Secondly, the combination of LPDDR5X and UFS4.0 fast flash memory brings a flagship level beyond the past with Flyme’s all-around optimization from software storage to game operation. Reading and writing, application opening response is faster, and transmission is more efficient.

2. The 200 million ultra-high-pixel main camera brings 3 types of image quality experiences

As a standard mobile phone, Meizu 21 uses a 200-megapixel ultra-high-pixel main camera, with three image quality outputs: 12.5MP default, 4-in-1 50MP, and 16-in-1 200MP.

In other words, we can choose the appropriate output mode based on the actual scene, and with OIS optical image stabilization and the powerful computing power of the third-generation Snapdragon 8, taking pictures in 200 million mode is fast and stable, and the film yield rate rises linearly.

3. The ring flash is greatly upgraded and integrated with the Aicy smart ring.

Meizu’s ring flash is derived from the PRO 6 released in 2016. It uses multiple LED lamp beads as the light source to make the shooting flash and ambient light brighter and the light more uniform.

This time, in Meizu 21, this function has been innovated again, adding a versatile display to the lamp beads, and giving the phone the ability to interact with the ring flash. Meizu calls it Aicy smart ring, which can be used in different scenes. , the flash will automatically match the light source and dynamic effects, bringing a smart interactive experience.

Design and Appearance

Meizu 21 is equipped with a 6.55-inch Samsung AMOLED screen on the front, with a refresh rate of 120Hz and supports an instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 1500Hz. The surface of the screen is covered with a Corning Gorilla Victus panel, which is hard and wear-resistant. The phone is not afraid of being hit by sharp objects when placed in a trouser pocket. scratches.

We checked the screen pixel arrangement of Meizu 21, the Samsung E6 luminous panel, the proper diamond arrangement, and the resolution is 2340×1080.

This time, Meizu 21 has the world’s narrowest physical quadrilateral. The width of the four sides of the screen is reduced to 1.74mm. The visual effect is equivalent. The moment the screen is lit, it looks particularly comfortable. The rounded corners form a centrally symmetrical aesthetic. Design, the front of Meizu 21 has simply cured my obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Coming to the back of the Meizu 21, the phone continues the well-received unbounded design of the previous generation and has been upgraded to version 2.0. It has a simple independent three-camera star ring design. The front and rear faces are slightly curved with the middle frame, forming an aesthetic and feel Parallel unique design.

The back of the mobile phone is made of soft sand star flash glass back panel, which has a frosted feel, feels delicate and soft, and avoids fingerprint contamination.

The three cameras of Meizu 21 are a 200-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5-megapixel depth-of-field lens. The outer ring of the depth-of-field camera is surrounded by four single-color temperature LED ring flashes, inheriting the Meizu tradition. classic design elements.

What needs to be mentioned here is that the ring flash on the rear of the Meizu 21 is officially called the Aicy smart ring. It is not only a flash but also has a variety of built-in colors. It can automatically match different colors according to different usage scenarios. Flashing rhythmically, such as music playback, game lighting effects, incoming call reminders, red envelope reminders, screen volume adjustment, etc., can show smart effects with various colors and animations. This flash is played by Meizu.

The four sides of Meizu 21 are made of high-strength aviation aluminum metal middle frame. The top of the phone has an infrared remote control sensor and a noise-reduction microphone. The bottom is a speaker, microphone, Type-C charging headphone two-in-one interface, and SIM card slot. Meizu 21 comes standard with an 80W fast charging charger set.

Performance and Gaming

As the flagship of the year, there is no doubt that Meizu 21 must be equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, based on the new generation TSMC N4P process, the new Kyro “1+5+2” three-core architecture, dual new technology blessings, whether it is daily It is still used for heavy gaming, and the experience is smooth and fun to play.

The Meizu 21 we have has built-in 12GB LPDDR5X memory and 512GB UFS4.0 flash memory.

Next, we conducted a set of theoretical performance and game performance tests on it. During the test, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test data, we adjusted the screen brightness of the phone to 50% and turned off automatic brightness and memory expansion. In the mobile phone manager Turn on high-performance mode for testing.

Performance Testing

We first conducted a single theoretical test of the CPU. In the Geekbench 6 test, the CPU single-core score reached 2160 points and the multi-core score was 6493 points. Compared with the previous generation Meizu 20 equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the single-core performance increased by 9.4%, and the multi-core performance increased by 9.4%. An increase of 23.3%.

Next is the GPU test. Under continuous testing conditions, the results of GFXBench’s six 1080P projects are as follows:

• Aztec Ruins OpenGL: 172FPS
• Aztec Ruins Vulkan: 187FPS
• Racing chase frame rate: 133FPS
• Manhattan 3.1 off-screen: 218FPS
• Manhattan off-screen: 299FPS
• Tyrannosaurus Rex off-screen: 436FPS

Compared with the previous generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen2, this generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 also has obvious advantages in graphics rendering capabilities, with an improvement of up to 65%. In theory, the smoothness of the game will bring about a huge improvement.

Game testing

To explore the true strength of this third-generation Snapdragon 8 in Meizu 21, we selected three popular mobile games, namely “Honor of Kings”, “Peace Elite” and “Original” in an office environment with a room temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. “God”, select the highest frame rate under the highest image quality (with image quality first) for game testing, and record the frame rate, power consumption, energy efficiency ratio and body temperature performance during the game.

1. King of Glory

The first is the test of the basic game Honor of Kings. Meizu 21 can run at up to 60 frames under extreme image quality. After a game, the average frame rate is 60.1FPS, with an average fluctuation of 0.1FPS. The power consumption is 2.138W, which is not high for the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 model.

In terms of temperature, the front of the fuselage reaches a maximum of 35.8 degrees Celsius, and the back reaches a maximum of 35.3 degrees Celsius. You can hardly feel the heat during gaming.

2. Peace Elite

Then we tested the medium-load mobile game Peace Elite, with smooth image quality and 90 frames mode. After a fierce team battle, the average frame rate was stable at 89.7FPS, which was close to full frame, and the frame rate fluctuated by 4FPS.

In terms of power consumption, the average is about 3.5W, which is nearly 0.2W lower than Snapdragon 8 Gen2. The frame energy consumption is 39mW. The frame rate is stable and the power consumption is still low.

In terms of temperature, the maximum temperature on the front of the fuselage is 39.2 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature on the back is 38.4 degrees Celsius. The temperature is suitable and the gaming experience will not be poor due to excessive heat during gaming.

3. Original God

Finally, we came to the heavily loaded Genshin Impact mobile game test. In the highest image quality + 60 frames mode, we were running and fighting monsters. At this time, the resolution we captured was 884P, which is a little higher than the rendering pressure of other 8 Gen3 mobile phones. , but it is still able to stabilize the output at 59.5FPS, and the average fluctuation is maintained at 1.2FPS. During the game, releasing the ultimate move is surprisingly stable, with almost no frame drops.

In terms of power consumption, it is only about 4.47W. Not only does it not reach 5W, it is not even 4.5W. This really shocked us. The energy efficiency ratio of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is lower than that of the Meizu 20 series last year. 8 Gen2, about 14% higher.

Thanks to the large heat dissipation area of ​​37,345 square millimeters stacked inside the Meizu 21 fuselage, when playing heavy-load mobile games like Genshin Impact, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is nearly 1 degree Celsius lower than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2. Although the temperature during the game is still You can feel the heat gradually accumulating, but compared with the previous generation Meizu 20, it can really be said to be stable and cool.

Cameras

Meizu 21 has three rear cameras. The main camera uses Samsung S5KHP3 CMOS, a 1/1.4-inch photosensitive unit, with a default output of 125,000 pixels and a single pixel of 0.56μm. It can quickly output 50-megapixel ultra-clear images through four-in-one. It can achieve up to 16-in-1 200 million pixel direct output.

The ultra-wide angle is a 13-megapixel Samsung S5K3L6 sensor with a 122° field of view.

The other lens is a 5-megapixel depth-of-field camera with a Samsung S5K5e9 sensor. Its main function is to cooperate with the main camera to achieve a blur effect.

Main photo sample

Given how helpful this 200-megapixel camera is for imaging, let’s first test the resolution of Meizu 21 in three image qualities. We used the three image qualities of Meizu 21 to shoot pictures of a fixed scene. After zooming in and comparing, we can see that the default 12.5MP shoots Chinese characters on buildings. It can be recognized after zooming in, but the resolution is insufficient and the writing is very blurry. The picture captured by 50MP is good and the handwriting is much clearer.

The text under 200 Megapixels is not only visible but after magnification, you can even see the ravines next to the writing. For comparison, another set of proofs captures the text above the building. The 12.5MP proofs show that the fonts are blurred after enlargement, and the air conditioning well grille next to it is blurry.

After enlarging the 50MP sample, the details of the fonts are more in place, and the air-conditioning well grille begins to become clear. At 200MP, the light lines leading next to the word “Macro” can be seen, and even the gaps between the air-conditioning well grilles can be vaguely visible.

In this set of proofs, under 200 million pixels, the outline of the four words “No going into the river” is clearer, and the edges of the surrounding bricks are also clearly visible.

In the daytime proofs, Meizu 21 restores colors more accurately without overly bright colors. The picture presented finds a good balance between reality and vividness. This balance makes the picture both realistic and vivid. Without losing the beauty. Especially in the sky, the layering of cumulus clouds is very rich, as if you can feel the thickness and density of the clouds.

Night images

Under the night scene, the highlight suppression of the pictures taken with long exposure is very good, and the light and shadow, light and dark details can be accurately recorded. However, the red light sign will still be slightly whitened, but the overall sample quality is not bad.

It should be noted that the exposure time of Meizu 21 in night scene mode will be slightly longer, so it is more suitable to use a tripod for shooting.

Super wide-angle sample

The 122-degree ultra-wide-angle lens can correct distortion by default, but there will be some blurring at the edges of the picture, causing both sides of the picture to look slightly blurry.

Fortunately, the colors displayed are more realistic, and the viewing angle is wider than other mobile phones of the same level. There is not much pressure in daily shooting.

Battery

Meizu 21 has a built-in 4800mAh large-capacity battery, and the charging power has been increased from the previous 67W to 80W.

In this regard, we also tested the charging capacity and battery life of the Meizu 21.

Charging test

After actual testing, the battery started charging from 1%, charging to 39% in 10 minutes, charging to 65% in 20 minutes, and charging to 82% in half an hour, and then gradually entered the trickle charging mode, and finally fully charged in 43 minutes.

Endurance test

In the test items, the 20% power test will be performed by default. At the same time, all test items including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, picture browsing, video playback, and web browsing will be checked to simulate user usage scenarios. , to restore the real load to the greatest extent and be infinitely close to the real power consumption.

During the test, to keep the environmental variables tested for all models consistent and ensure the accuracy of the test results, Battery Dog will automatically adjust the screen brightness to 50%, turn off automatic brightness, and adjust the volume to 30%.

After continuous uninterrupted testing by Battery Dog, it took 9 hours and 46 minutes for the power to be consumed from 100% to 20%. After conversion, the full battery life can reach nearly 11 hours. As the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagship machine, it is a proper battery life artifact. Daily users can use it for a day without any problems.

Verdict

The appearance of Meizu 21, based on adhering to the “unbounded” design of the front seat, further narrows the four borders to achieve a truly equal-width visual effect. Compared with those “visually equal-width” mobile phones, the Meizu 21 no matter which way you look at it Looking at it from different angles, there is a sense of extremely symmetrical beauty. Virgos and patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will sigh “Perfect” when they see it .

Secondly, the 6.55-inch small-sized screen can be easily held by girls with small hands with one hand. Coupled with the upgraded Samsung E6 screen, the text is not blurry, the pictures are not distorted, and the colors are accurate and the picture is fine, eliminating the problems of the previous generation. That graininess.

It is worth mentioning that Meizu 21’s unique Aicy smart ring can achieve different colors and dynamic effects in different scenarios. This function can bring us the most direct information feedback with the most intuitive interaction logic, even on mobile phones. With the screen turned upside down on the table, you can tell at a glance what’s going on with your phone. Once you use this feature, you can’t go back.

Aicy smart ring can be described in one sentence: it not only inherits the classics but also transcends the classics.

Equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8, the performance of this small-screen mobile phone is directly maximized, laying the foundation for smooth daily use and high-intensity gameplay. In our actual tests, Meizu 21 played the highest graphics The quality of Genshin Impact is stable at 59.5FPS and the power consumption is within 4.5W. This game performance is outstanding among small-screen flagship phones.

In terms of imaging, the 200-megapixel ultra-clear camera greatly increases the resolution of the pictures taken. If you want to record beautiful scenery when traveling daily, high pixels come in handy. It is perfect to zoom in to see the details.

However, large pixels will have a certain impact on the brightness of the picture, so it is recommended to use ultra-high pixels under good lighting conditions.

Finally, there is the same line of ultrasonic fingerprint recognition , which is not dazzling to unlock at night and can be easily unlocked with wet hands. So far, no mobile phone manufacturer has used ultrasonic fingerprint recognition in its standard version of flagship mobile phones, but Meizu has used it. The 2004 and fourth-generation products have truly brought mobile phones to a new level that is hard to come back from once used.

To sum up, this generation of Meizu 21 inherits the classic design and functions of the past. It not only makes breakthroughs in performance and imaging, but also brings us novel interaction methods, and has the world’s narrowest 1.74mm. Bian’s innovative aesthetic design has created this new generation of dream machines in Keyou’s mind, which also corresponds to Meizu’s saying: “Pursuit comes from love.”

If you are a fan of small-screen mobile phones and have relatively high requirements for details, performance, screen, and quality, then Meizu 21 can be included in your purchase range.

1. A new look

Meizu 20 PRO has undergone earth-shaking changes from the previous generations of mobile phones, abandoning the last design elements of the hyperbolic screen. The most intuitive feeling is that it has become particularly square. , Meizu named this generation of design “Boundless,” which represents the romance of Meizu’s aesthetics.

The new design of this generation of Meizu has brought a new look to the 20 PRO and indicates that Meizu is about to embark on a new journey.

2. Ultrasonic fingerprint + SMA OIS classic is inherited

Under the brand-new look, it also inherits the classic functions of Meizu. The ultrasonic fingerprint was first launched in the Meizu 18 series and has been used until now. It has been inherited in the latest Meizu 20 PRO, expanding the fingerprint recognition area. When we unlock the screen, It is no longer necessary to precisely align the fingerprint recognition module, which can be easily opened with a touch. It also can open with wet hands and truly achieves the pleasure of “capacitive” fingerprint unlocking.

SMA OIS has also been a function of Meizu’s vigorous promotion. Its full name is Shape Memory Alloy Optical Image Stabilizer, a memory alloy optical image stabilizer. Memory alloy has a shape memory effect. When the shape of the alloy is changed, Once heated to a specific transition temperature, it can return to its original form.

Therefore, combined with four shape memory metal wires, the autofocus and anti-shake functions are realized by controlling the temperature to deform the metal wires. Shaking effect, of course, the cost is higher.

Meizu 20 PRO once again inherits the ability of SMA OIS. It can be taken quickly during the day, and the long exposure is stable at night. Meizu has never been exceptional in terms of images.

3. Double 80W wired charging and leapfrog 50W wireless charging

The charging specifications of the Meizu 20 PRO have also gone further. The wired fast charging power has doubled from 40W of the previous generation to 80W, supports the industry’s highest specification of 50W wireless fast charging, and has wireless reverse charging.

Design & Appearance

The Meizu 20 PRO has a 6.81-inch Samsung E6 Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 3200×1440 and an equivalent PPI of 420. This time, Meizu finally supports 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate simultaneously. Combined with the characteristics of the LTPO substrate, it is compatible with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, further reducing the power consumption caused by a high refresh rate.

Secondly, this Samsung top screen has a static contrast ratio of 8 million: 1, combined with HDR10+ ultra-dynamic display and DCI-P3 color gamut; it has a very excellent viewing experience when watching movies and pictures.

The most significant difference between the Meizu 20 PRO and previous generations of models is that the last hyperbolic screen has been changed to a straight screen. The moment the screen is turned on, the visual impact of equal width on three sides comes up simultaneously.

The centered front camera avoids the picture distortion caused by the shooting angle when video chatting or taking selfies. The gesture navigation bar at the bottom of the phone integrates Meizu’s classic mBack gestures. Tap to return, press again to return to the home screen, and long-press the screen to recall the memories of old Meizu friends instantly. Even new users can quickly get started. When you are honest, Once you experience it, you really can’t go back.

This generation of Meizu 20 PRO is equipped with a rigid metal middle frame with a bright gold treatment process, improving the phone’s texture to a higher level. The thickness of the mobile phone is only 7.8mm, and the weight is 209 grams. It is relatively light among flagship mobile phones and will not feel cumbersome in hand.

The unbounded star flash design used on the back of the phone can absorb most of the light on the surface. When you pick up the phone, the light diffraction brought by the phone reflection is so smooth it feels slippery and not greasy to the touch, and The most significant advantage of this design is that it is not easy to get fingerprints.

The rear three-camera layout adopts a new arrangement scheme in the left vertical direction, which aligns more with the public’s aesthetics. The classic ring flash is also retained, and a drop laser focus sensor is integrated into the center of the moment.

The Meizu logo, arranged in the same direction as the lens, is integrated into the background color of the phone, showing the unbounded fusion of technology and aesthetics.

As far as the overall design of Meizu 20 PRO is concerned, it not only takes into account the previous simple style but also perfectly integrates the new unbounded design into it, representing a new beginning for the Meizu flagship.

Meizu 20 PRO has become its first model with an infrared remote control sensor. It is located on the top of the phone, and the opening next to it is a noise-canceling microphone, and symmetrical antenna strips are added on both sides.

The bottom of the phone has a speaker opening, the Type-C and earphone two-in-one interface is located in the bottom center, and the right side is the primary microphone and SIM card slot.

The power and volume buttons of Meizu 20 PRO are on the phone’s right side. This time, the Meizu 20 PRO supports a wired fast charging power of up to 80W, which is doubled compared to the previous generation. The fast charging adapter that comes with it adopts the C-port solution.

Performance

As a flagship mobile phone, Meizu 20 PRO has the most robust performance iron triangle, the second-generation Snapdragon 8, LPDDR5X, and UFS4.0, and the version with the highest 12+512GB is also the version we tested.

Next, we conduct a set of theoretical performance tests.

1. AnTuTu

AnTuTu’s comprehensive test has a total score of 1.3 million+, about 84% higher than that of the Meizu 18 PRO equipped with Snapdragon 888. Among them, the CPU score is close to 280,000, and the GPU score is 575,000, 51% higher than the previous generation. , 93%. It will be one of best gaming phones that you can play the latest version, minecraft 1.20 download.

2. GeekBench

In the GeekBench5 individual test, the single-core score reached 1418, and the multi-core score was 4315, nearly 25.7% and 20.6%, respectively, compared to the Snapdragon 888. How about testing minecraft game, minecraft 1.20 download apk here.

We also used the latest GeekBench6 for testing, with a single-core score of 1974 and a multi-core score of 5264.

3. Androbench

In terms of storage testing, in the Androbench test, the sequential read speed is 3.5GB/s, and the sequential write speed is 3.0GB/s. Compared with the previous generation standard UFS 3.1 flash memory, the read and write performance has nearly doubled. Since it uses latest CPU, it will be best choice to play minecraft 1.20 apk faster.

4. Memory test

In the memory test, the 12GB LPDDR5X specification memory ran a copy speed of 1.97GB/s and a write speed of 5.42GB/s.

Gaming

The running score is only a test of theoretical performance. As for the hardware’s optimization ability and the extreme load’s performance release, it depends on the game’s performance.

In this regard, in the game testing session, we selected three mobile game masterpieces representing low, medium, and high loads in an office environment with an indoor temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, namely Glory of Kings, Peace Elite, and Yuanshen, for testing.

During the test, we adjusted the brightness of the mobile phone screen to 50% and turned off the automatic brightness to ensure the accuracy of the test. We used the highest image quality + highest frame rate for testing in the game and recorded the frame rate, the performance of temperature, and power consumption.

1. Glory of Kings

The first is the Honor of Kings mobile game with a lower load. It was tested with a very high frame rate under extreme image quality. The game runs at a maximum of 120FPS. After a team battle for nearly 10 minutes, the average frame rate of the match stabilized at 120.4 FPS; although there was a slight frame drop during the game, it did not affect the overall fluency of the game, and the average fluctuation was only 2FPS.

In terms of power consumption, the average power consumption is about 4.2W, and the frame energy consumption is 35.5mW. This kind of energy consumption surface can be regarded as the upper-middle level among many Snapdragon 8Gen2 models. Of course, you can also try minecraft 1.20.30 apk here.

In terms of temperature, the temperature is a little bit high. The front of the phone is 40.2 degrees Celsius, and the back is 39.8 degrees Celsius. It is estimated that it has a lot to do with the design of the Meizu 20 PRO. The straight-sided middle frame is not conducive to heat dissipation, resulting in high heat in the phone. , slightly hot during the game.

In this regard, we also measured the temperature of the frame, which was 39.1 degrees Celsius. While holding the mobile phone and playing games, we can feel that the structure is getting hotter and hotter.

2. Peace Elite   

Peace Elite mobile game, under the extreme frame rate + HDR high-definition picture quality, played a game for nearly 15 minutes; the average frame rate was stable to a full 60 frames, the frame rate curve of the game hardly changed, and the frame rate fluctuation was only 0.7 FPS.

Although it is 60 frames, the HDR+ high image quality also brings a higher load to the mobile phone, and the average power consumption has reached 4.055W, which is good at 67.6mW.

Although the power consumption is lower than Honor of Kings’s, the temperature is higher, 41.9 degrees Celsius on the front of the phone, and 40.3 degrees Celsius on the back of the phone, which is also related to the duration of the game.

The middle frame of the Meizu 20 PRO also soared to 39.7 degrees Celsius, which is close to 40 degrees Celsius, making it difficult for us to maintain a posture for gaming.

3. Original God   

Finally, there is the high-load Yuanshen mobile game. We ran the map while fighting monsters in the highly high-quality +60 frame mode. After a 16-minute game test, the average frame rate was stable at 59.9 FPS. A lot of effort has been made to optimize the performance release. During the game, the average fluctuation is only 1.5FPS, which is even better than most Snapdragon 8Gen2 phones.

With high stability, the power consumption must be higher. The average high energy consumption is 5.5W, and the frame power consumption has reached 91.8mW. Among many Snapdragon 8Gen2 models, it is relatively high. It can only be said that, In a word, high performance and low power consumption cannot have both.

So in terms of temperature, the front of the phone soared to 43.3 degrees Celsius, and the back also reached 42.3 degrees Celsius.

The middle frame of the mobile phone has also reached 41 degrees Celsius. At this time, it is tough to continue to hold the same part of the mobile phone, and we have to change the direction and position of the mobile phone.

Cameras

The Meizu 20 PRO has a 50-megapixel high-standard three-camera module at the rear. The telephoto camera has a golden focal length of 50mm, and the 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera has a 129-degree field of view.

At the same time, the primary camera combined with SMA OIS can bring a more substantial anti-shake gain effect, significantly improving the film output rate when shooting night scenes.

Main camera

In the daytime scene, the picture taken is very clean, and Meizu’s strategy for image adjustment is high saturation. This kind of imaging effect will make people fall in love with taking pictures, and even in backlit scenes, it can show enough Vibrant colors.

At night, using the long-exposure night scene mode, the pictures taken have reasonable control of glare, the light and shade between the lights and the buildings are distinct, and the details are restored in place, especially since there is no optical interlacing and mixing of light between adjacent light signs. Defects make the picture more vivid.

Moreover, with SMA OIS optical image stabilization, the picture will not be blurred no matter how you shoot, and it has an excellent performance in terms of stability and visual control.

Telephoto

Using the 2x optical zoom telephoto lens of the Meizu 20 Pro, we can take samples without losing details, and the color restoration is relatively accurate.

Ultra Wide Angle

The picture under the 129-degree ultra-wide-angle lens can show the tension of the building during the day and night. The 50-megapixel large-aperture lens incorporates Meizu’s latest computational photography algorithm, which optimizes the anti-distortion ability of the lens. The wider the angle, the better It shows the magnificence of the picture, the color reproduction is authentic, and it is very suitable to record the beautiful scenery of various places.

Battery

Meizu 20 PRO has a built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery, and its charging power has also been doubled, from the original 40W to 80W, and supports 50W wireless charging.

Charging Test

After testing, the Meizu 20 PRO can be charged 36% in 10 minutes, 56% in 20 minutes, 75% in half an hour, and fully charged in 45 minutes. The phone can quickly return to blood within half an hour.

Endurance test

For the battery life, we use a professional battery life test tool – the battery dog ​​produced by Kuai Technology.

In terms of test items, we chose the extreme power battery life test and checked all the test items, including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, picture browsing, video playback, and web browsing, to simulate user usage scenarios and restore the whole load to the greatest extent. Infinitely close to the actual power consumption.

We adjusted the power of Meizu 20 PRO to 50%, turned off the automatic brightness, and adjusted the refresh rate to adaptive at 2K resolution for testing.

After testing, it takes 7 hours and 27 minutes for the power to be consumed from 100% to 2%, which is enough for daily use. If users have extreme demand for energy, they can use it with an appropriate reduction in resolution or refresh rate.

Verdict

After one and a half years, Meizu has returned to the arena with a brand new look. The round middle frame and rugged metal frame make it hard for you to think that this is the latest flagship mobile phone, Meizu 20 PRO, under Meizu Technology.

However, after you play with it, you will feel that the classic design of Meizu is still there, such as the X-axis horizontal linear motor that created the ultimate shock of Android, the Mback that you can’t go back after using it, and the ring flash that has been passed down from generation to generation. With today’s Meizu 20 PRO flagship mobile phone, old Meizu friends can still see the appearance of Meizu back then.

1. The subversive unbounded design is a new beginning for Meizu

Meizu 20 PRO has a rigid straight-edge middle frame + four rounded corners, crossing the number 19 and starting a new 20 journey.

Although this design differs from other mobile phones, the grip and texture of the whole machine are full instantly, and it will not feel cumbersome when held in hand. At the same time, it also considers Meizu’s design aesthetics, inheriting the ultimate craftsmanship pursuit for 20 years. , It also indicates that Meizu Technology is about to open a new chapter.

2. The second-generation Snapdragon 8 performance iron triangle high-load mobile games are easy to control

With the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, LPDDR5X memory, and UFS 4.0 flash memory, we can see the most potent hardware in Meizu 20 PRO. In our game test, Yuanshen ran 59.9FPS, and easily Controlled high-load mobile games without any pressure to deal with mainstream mobile games.

The first time Meizu used a 4nm chip, it optimized the most robust chip on the surface, which is enough to show Meizu’s determination and perseverance to make products with heart.

3. Wired fast charging is doubled, and wireless fast charging is full

The Meizu 18 Pro of the previous generation still has 40W wired fast charging, and the Meizu 20 PRO, which surpasses 19, directly doubles the wired fast charging. The 80W fast charging brings the mobile phone the ability to quickly fill up the blood in 45 minutes; with the industry’s highest specification of 50W Wireless fast charging; in the ranks of flagship mobile phones, the charging specifications of Meizu 20 PRO have no regrets.

Meizu has always regarded “user experience” as the core standard for testing products for twenty years. However, this generation of Meizu has ushered in a massive change in history, but Meizu’s original intention of “pursuit comes from love” remains unchanged.

Combined with the experience of Meizu 20 PRO, we believe that Meizu is still the same Meizu as before and has always used “pursuit from love” as the driving force for research and development to create this unique Meizu 20 PRO.

If you are an old kerosene waiting for Meizu’s new products or a new user paying attention to Meizu for a long time, Meizu 20 PRO, a new generation of flagship mobile phones, can fully meet all your needs for daily use and entertainment.

Given that Meizu was founded on March 14, we think it is very likely that Meizu will bring more news in the next month. At that time, the new Flyme 10 system will likely be released together (Meizu announced the Flyme9 on March 2, 2021, and the Meizu 18 series on March 3).

A Demo of Flyme 10 has been leaked by digital blogger @digitchat.com. The new Flyme 10 demo looks like Flyme’s usual clean style, but the icon design is almost extinct in the industry.

In today’s flat era, such a mock object design is more clever and rare. However, the color of the ICONS in this version of the Demo is more vivid than the previous Meizu style, although not used to but also visually different flavor.

In addition, the new system interface also shows large desktop widgets, which should also bring some useful features.

Meizu said at last year’s Meiyou 2022 conference that everything is going well with the new phone, which is already in the pre-mass testing stage.

It may be for this reason. In the past few years, Apple and Android manufacturers introduced the “Usage Management” function at almost the same time period, hoping that users can control themselves and use mobile phones as little as possible.

However, it seems that users consciously cannot contribute too much substantive help to “resisting” the full domination of mobile phones. It is still necessary to provide some practical means of transferring functions of mobile phones to share the intelligence of mobile phones, reduce the intervention of mobile phones, and let The user can move away from the screen of the phone and allocate time to something worthy of concentration.

In fact, there are some things that can be carried by smart wearable devices such as smartwatches, true wireless earphones, etc.

This time we will only talk about watches. Regarding what kind of attitude the watch should exist relative to the mobile phone, the choices given by various manufacturers are not the same. The choice is to make it into a large bracelet attached to the mobile phone. Once you leave the mobile phone, you can only look at the time, Look at the heart rate (even some smartwatches can’t see the heart rate).

Meizu seems to have been thinking about this for a long time, and the answer given is Meizu all-smart watches. This work allows us to see a lot of the sincerity extensions that Meizu has already shown on smart phones-full blood small screen, global gestures, linear motors, fast charging, etc., all gathered on this smartwatch of Meizu; this work is all The system is equipped with eSIM as standard, and even equipped with Wi-Fi, LTE, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, and many other modules, which means that it can realize independent communication without the mobile phone.

Meizu Watch also cooperated with Maxim to develop a health and exercise monitoring system, and finally started to invest in the field of health and exercise.

Without the need for a mobile phone as a medium, Meizu’s full smartwatch can independently control Meizu’s Lipro smart home, and even Lipro LED realizes light switch and brightness adjustment based on Meizu watch voice, touch, and custom operation methods of raising the wrist. Next, is our detailed evaluation experience of Meizu’s full smartwatch.

Design & Appearance

The packaging box of Meizu all-smart watches also has the same style as the outer packaging of Meizu mobile phones.

The 46mm dial of the Meizu full smartwatch uses a rounded rectangular design, covered with a large curvature of Corning Gorilla curved glass. Due to the arc of large curvature, the sliding feel is very smooth.

The inner screen is an AMOLED screen with a resolution of 368*448, 326 PPI just meets the standard of the retina screen, and the look and feel is very delicate.

There is a smoother transition between the 2.5D glass and the metal frame. It is worth mentioning that the outer frame is made of one-piece aluminum alloy, and the whole machine has no breakpoints.

There is only one button on the entire watch, which can be combined with gesture interaction on the touch screen to complete various operations. In the final analysis, the operation logic is “slide right to return, click to confirm”, and the threshold for getting started and the cost of learning are quite low.

The back is a ceramic back cover, and the heart rate and blood oxygen sensor can be seen in the middle, which means that the Meizu smartwatch can support blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, stress, and other tests.

The strap of the Meizu Watch is made of fluorine rubber. This skin-like material is very flexible, and the delicate touch makes people irritated to touch repeatedly. It is naturally very comfortable to wear. In short, it is “wearing without feeling”. . Fluorine rubber is also resistant to dirt and corrosion. It is more suitable for sportswear and more resistant to perspiration.

This is a separate magnetic charging base, you only need to place the watch close to the charging base to attach it.

User experience

Meizu all smartwatches do not use the common Wear OS system. On the contrary, they are deeply customized based on the familiar Android 8.1, directly adapting the Android system to the watch side.

It would be wise not to use Wear OS. Although it has been vigorously promoted by Google, it has gradually become absent-minded in recent years. Manufacturers who want to optimize and improve the system still depends on Google’s face, but now the development of Wear OS is getting slower and slower, and the experience of those smartwatches is still far away.

With its own Flyme for Watch, Meizu has enough freedom to customize and optimize the experience on the watch side. Flyme for Watch is based on the Android system for in-depth custom development, which actually means that it is the same as the Flyme on the mobile phone, or the latter is shifted to the side of the watch, which can reduce the developer’s development threshold and cost in the later stage.

Based on Flyme for Watch, the message notifications and schedule reminders received on the mobile phone will be seamlessly transferred to the watch for viewing. The watch can also realize functions such as music control, remote control of photos, and mutual search on the Meizu mobile phone it is paired with.

Meizu Watch is equipped with a Qualcomm Wear 4100 processor, using a 12nm process, the CPU part has four 1.7GHz A53s, and the GPU is Adreno A504. Compared to the needs of the watch, this performance is absolutely top-notch, just sliding the screen. At that time, you can experience the smoothness of maturity compared to other large bracelets or smartwatches.

It is worth noting that the classic Aicy voice assistant on Meizu mobile phones has also been transplanted to Meizu all-smart watches. The watch comes with a microphone and speaker, so you can inquire about the weather and check flights on the watch side just like operating a mobile phone voice assistant.

Although Flyme for Watch is just getting started, it has introduced and adapted many commonly used software, such as Air Travel, QQ, Baidu map (support navigation), Alipay (support scan code, display payment code, ride code), Mainstream and commonly used software covering different needs such as NetEase Cloud Music shares a lot of mobile phone responsibilities.

Moreover, according to Meizu’s habit of “Everything can be OTA”, I believe that more applications will be added in the future. For example, WeChat should only be launched sooner or later.

Meizu’s all smartwatches come standard with eSIM function, which is an important reason why it can be transformed into a “wrist phone”. With the support of eSIM, Meizu’s full smartwatch can realize independent networking and independent calls.

In addition, this work also has a built-in NFC chip, and all functions such as analog access cards and bus cards that users have seen on Meizu mobile phones have been transplanted to this watch.

In terms of health management, Meizu has just started, but through its cooperation with Maxim, it has provided a complete range of mainstream functions such as heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen saturation monitoring, sleep monitoring, and stress detection, which are in line with the health of current head manufacturers. The management functions are similar.

This work supports 24-hour heart rate monitoring and will issue a warning when the user’s heart rate is too high or too low so that the wearer can understand their physical condition in real-time.

In terms of sports management functions, Meizu also chose to cooperate with Maxim, so Meizu, which has just started, let this watch support outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, walking, table tennis, badminton, etc. More than 10 kinds of exercise recognition, according to different exercise modes, record and display detailed data under a specific exercise.

Through the sleep monitoring function of Meizu’s full smartwatch, users can obtain accurate data such as sleep time and deep sleep time to help understand and improve sleep quality.

In terms of battery life, due to the comprehensive functions, complete modules, and a high-quality screen, the energy consumption of Meizu’s all-smartwatches is relatively high compared to those “large bracelets” that watch the time and measure the heart rate and sleep. , So the battery life is average. I used it moderately. After almost 30 hours, 70% of the battery was consumed.

Verdict

After these days of experience, the author believes that the interactive experience of Meizu’s full smartwatch is almost better than any wearable device that has been used before, especially the “large bracelet.”

The appearance of the Meizu Watch is what an independent smartwatch should look like-equipped with Qualcomm Wear 4100 platform, eSIM cooperates with microphone and speaker to realize independent calls, Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth module, NFC analog access control bus card, Payment, and QQ have everything.

Obviously, this is indeed a real way that allows you to shop smoothly, communicate with the outside world, and allows users to go home smoothly in various ways, until the door is opened or even the smart home can be opened, without having to take out the real wrist of the mobile phone. machine.

As Meizu’s first-generation smartwatch product in the true sense, there are not many types of models based on appearance. The black and azure models are common among all kinds of people. Although they are worry-free, they undoubtedly have one less dazzling skill. Seize the opportunity of a more segmented population.

We believe that with Meizu’s proficient industrial design ability and polishing experience, we can play more tricks in appearance.

Thanks to the software ecology gained by the square watch form, coupled with Meizu’s past Flyme system optimization capabilities, in terms of software experience, Meizu’s full smartwatches are perfectly adapted and smoothly run all the applications that can be installed, and are associated with voice assistants. , You can open and call out in one sentence.

In addition, the current mainstream flagship smartwatches support indicators such as blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, pressure detection, etc., and Meizu all smartwatches are also available. They can act as an assistant and “secondary machine” in daily life, and can also be a sports health steward. character of.

The price of 1499 yuan for Meizu smartwatch is frankly not expensive. After all, the price of some “large bracelets” is much higher than this, and many smart wearable products that support eSIM are also priced at 1,000 yuan. the above. On the whole, this work is indeed worth experiencing.

When you see Flyme 9 for the first time, you will feel that it is still the familiar “small and fresh” system as a whole. But once you get started, you will be surprised at his growth. The familiar small window has moved from 2.0 to 3.0. The floating small window brings more convenience to the mobile phone’s multi-threaded operation; Aicy has also learned more new skills, providing you with an article, listening to a song, and even Continuous conversations are fine.

On Flyme 9, there is both heritage and innovation. In UI design, the Alive Design design concept, which was born in 2019, has left a deep impression on users, and on Flyme 9, it has a new interpretation of the smart and lively design.

The brand-new grid system and system-level icon redrawing make the layout of the desktop appear orderly, and the style is unified. With the addition of rich, dynamic effects and new plug-ins, the whole system will feel as if it breathes. Even if you love customization, it can strike a balance between freedom and stylization so that each of your photos has the beauty of the original system theme.

For mobile phone systems, addition is easy, but subtraction is difficult. As the system is upgraded from generation to generation, bloat is inevitable, and it is a painful decision whether to simplify the complex or to overthrow it and redo it. The latest Flyme 9 has drastically improved some of the old elements. For example, in fingerprint recognition, the original animation appears to be procrastinated under the existing unlocking speed, then directly replace with a simple circular halo. Everything is in one sentence, “Nice and invisible, natural and smooth”.

In addition to the interface and function upgrades, Flyme 9 also has surprises. That is, strict management has been carried out on the privacy and security issues of Android phones and the issues of mobile advertising.

Although permission management in the Android system has been around for a long time, compared with what we are familiar with, the privacy protection of Flyme 9 is not as simple as a switch. All-weather monitoring and management of call permissions so that every call is notified and recorded in time. Users can decide for themselves whether to submit the information and how detailed is it? Control is in his hands all the time.

Another mobile phone advertisement is a product of early developer cooperating with software vendors to subsidize costs. It always exists in the form of a pre-installed APP, system information push, and pretend to be in the information stream.

Although advertising can increase mobile phone manufacturers’ revenue, frequent mistakes in downloading advertising applications and pushing marketing information also affect the user experience. Although some manufacturers will provide options for uninstalling and closing, this behaviour still avoids a fundamental problem? As a manufacturer, are you willing to sacrifice this part of the profit to gain a better user experience?

The Meizu 18 we received was not only equipped with Flyme 9 at the factory, but also the whole phone truly achieved zero advertising, zero push, and zero pre-installation. Users can experience the ultimate pure system after purchase, install the required software directly, and do not have to worry about the interference of the pervasive advertising “psoriasis”. Regardless of other design concepts, advertising alone is worth learning from many domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Next, let’s experience Flyme 9 together and see how it will perform.

Design

In 2019, Meizu proposed Alive Design’s design concept for the first time, using white space design, smart wallpapers, and rich, dynamic effects to make the system UI full of breath.

Based on Flyme 8, following Alive Design’s design philosophy, this time, Flyme 9 continues to improve in three directions. They are light and orderly interaction and vision, novel and rich, personalized experience, and intimate motion design. Together, the three constitute the cornerstone of Flyme 9’s design.

Light and orderly interaction and vision

At this point of lightness and order, Flyme 9 continues to maximize the white space design, greatly simplifying the page design, removing complex and useless decorations, and replacing text descriptions with pictures/videos to keep the page concise while ensuring efficiency of information.

Flyme 9 has redrawn the icons to unify the design language, using the rounded rectangle style uniformly. Even made a set of algorithms to achieve adaptive adaptation to third-party icons. Even the desktop components have been transformed into a rounded rectangle style, the card-like structure is more readable, and Flyme’s various UI elements’ design language is consistent.

Innovative and rich personalized experience

The Flyme system’s rich and highly personalized screen interface has always been one of its features. This time, Flyme 9 has a lot more options for the style of the screen. It has simple text and exquisite static images. Many exquisite dynamic screen styles support user-defined import images/ Motion pictures that can meet users’ customisation needs.

Also, it is quite emotional that the small circle reminder light is also returning in this generation. Users can select the circle option in the screen settings, and they can see the classic small circle breathing light reminder when the message is prompted.

Another aspect of personalization is Alive wallpaper. Previously, Alive wallpapers could only use a few effects that come with the system to enjoy a full set of theme wallpapers and beautiful transition effects. And on Flyme 9, Alive wallpaper finally added a custom option. The user selects the picture he likes, and the system can automatically generate a dynamic effect that matches the colour of the picture.

Comfortable motion design

Flyme also almost achieves pixel-level detailing in terms of dynamic effects and strives to avoid the afterimage of the animation effect, and the transition and convergence are also perfect.

To give a simple example, only an open icon requires that the wallpaper should have a corresponding zooming action when the program is opened to achieve a visual sense of breathing. Even if the action is interrupted midway, the animation will be interrupted immediately, making the fastest response.

Interaction: mBack and full gesture navigation are combined into one floating window, and multi-threaded operation is invincible

When using the Flyme system in the past, we often entangled whether to use full-screen gestures or classic black navigation. However, this kind of entanglement will no longer exist on Flyme 9, and the two control methods have finally merged into one.

In mBack navigation settings, a side-slide return switch is added, and mBack itself has also added a side-slide multitasking function.

Therefore, when using a mobile phone, you can not only use the traditional three gestures of touch to return, press back to the desktop, and slide up the bottom for multitasking; you can also slide directly on both sides of the back to achieve rapid speed between multiple tasks. Switch. It can also slide on edge to realize the exit function. Whether you are a newcomer or a veteran, using the fusion version of mBack can quickly get started and more convenient.

The small window is also a function that we are very familiar with on Flyme 8. When it comes to Flyme 9, it has become more mature. Whether it is pop-up messages, sharing information, editing text or system settings, the small window is suitable for various usage scenarios. The matching is more perfect, realizing a real lightweight opening.

Flyme 9.0 is fully supported for light opening. The most obvious place for small window optimization is in the game scene. When you open the vertical screen application notification when the horizontal screen is displayed, the new window will be displayed in the form of a small vertical screen instead of directly jumping to the vertical screen application in the past, which will never affect the original application experience.

The small window supports 5 kinds of gesture interaction, such as sliding and hanging up the small window to become a floating small window, clicking the floating small window to return to the small window mode, pulling down the small window to change to a full-screen application, sliding up a full-screen application to change to a small window mode, and double-clicking the floating small window. The window becomes a full-screen application. However, some gestures conflict with the back, and they cannot be used simultaneously.

In the floating small window mode, the window can be fixed at the corners and run without interfering with the foreground application. If you only need to listen to the sound without looking at the screen, slide the screen to hide it. The small window also supports separate volume control and size control; you can switch the sound display in a larger form.

Camera: UI fully adaptive one-handed control and novel dynamic photo function

The changes to the camera UI this time are also efficient. The function setting options are no longer distributed on the upper and lower sides of the viewfinder but can be done with only one hand according to gesture control.

In the camera control page, in addition to swiping your finger left and right to switch between different camera modes, you can also swipe up and down to make the function bar on the upper side of the viewfinder appear in the lower part, allowing you to achieve HDR, filters and other camera options with one hand. Manipulation. Simultaneously, the further setting bar has also been optimized for one hand, with larger options and easier to call out and exit.

The new dynamic photo function is also very suitable for recording dynamic scenes that are not easy to capture. After pressing the camera button, the photo will be recorded in the form of a 3-second high-definition video, recording some fleeting, beautiful moments.

Privacy and security: All-view Hawkeye recording application reminds you of sensitive behaviours in every move

Privacy and security have not been taken seriously by manufacturers in the past. It has only recently become a new hot spot in the two camps of iOS and Android. Flyme 9 also followed closely and launched privacy security as the highlight, bringing users a full range of privacy protection.

Flyme 9’s privacy and security protection function is divided into four modules: Guardian Scepter, All-Seeing Hawkeye, Invisible Boots, and Privacy Cloak. They are responsible for authority management, authority monitoring, location information protection, and fire prevention. Was secretly transferred.

Guardian Scepter

Guardian Scepter is an upgraded version of the authority management system. Unlike the previous authorization that only completes authorization when the application is opened for the first time after installation, it will pop up every time the application invokes permissions, allowing users to understand which permissions they have allowed fully. Also, the options for granting permissions have changed. Only once, allow and deny when using, can avoid the possible harm caused by the abuse of permissions in the background.

All-seeing Hawkeye

In the past, there was a lack of records on the supervision of permissions. Unless the screen was recorded, it was difficult to prove that the program had abused permissions. Even if there is abuse, it is difficult for users to find out in time. And these problems will be solved in front of All-Seeing Hawkeye.

All-seeing Hawkeye contains four major functions, namely application behaviour recording, sensitive behaviour reminder, application management suggestions, and application explicit indication. You can record every word and deed of the application calling permissions, actively remind the user when a sensitive call occurs, and actively suggest which applications and permissions the user should pay attention to.

Even common operations such as sharing pop-ups will clearly mark the application sources of different behaviours to avoid malicious applications using similar icons for fishing in troubled waters.

Invisible boots

When apps need location permissions, we often have such contradictions. For apps such as food delivery, we worry that the positioning is not accurate enough, which will affect the delivery efficiency; for some irrelevant apps, we don’t want the positioning to be too detailed to not cause unnecessary trouble to ourselves.

The invisible magic boots function allows users to determine the accuracy of positioning themselves, thereby solving this problem. Applications that require high-precision positioning are given high-precision positioning information. For other applications, only fuzzy positioning is transmitted. Even if you encounter malicious developers, you don’t have to worry about personal details being sold.

Also, this function applies to EXIF ​​information of photos. Let the application not know your privacy, such as your historical track through the photo information.

Cloak of privacy

The privacy cloak is more like an extension of invisible boots. It is no longer only for personal location information but has expanded a lot in the scope of personal information. For example, clipboards, contacts, account numbers, picture files, etc., are all in its protection scope.

You must have seen a lot of software that reads personal information. Like shopping software, social software, I like to read the address book information, use your personal information to invite friends, and push links to various activities. With this feature, you can directly return to empty messages, avoiding the harassment of spam invitation links.

Some applications even automatically take screenshots to identify users’ daily chat content, delete pictures, and so on in more serious cases. The authority of these malicious behaviours can also be prohibited by privacy cloak, preventing trouble before it happens. If the program’s use also involves uploading pictures and other content, users can also selectively open the directory, which does not interfere with daily use, and at the same time protects privacy to the utmost extent.

Verdict

Different mobile phone systems have different tones, such as emphasising originality, emphasizing literature and art, emphasizing business, and emphasizing pragmatism. Although we always emphasize innovation, the continuity of design is equally important. While innovating, sticking to your own style and inheriting more product genes will naturally accumulate more fans.

Flyme is like this. It’s always tone has always been young people as the main group, with “small and fresh” as the main style of its design. Working silently on this basis will make people who like it more and more like it, and at the same time attract more passers-by to join the ranks of its fans.

On Flyme 9, inheritance and innovation continue. What we see is the refinement of the design and the perfection of the function. Alive Design has been played more vividly. The system’s dynamic effects are richer and more dynamic, and the rich and delicate animation makes it clear that not only Apple will deadlock the pixel-level details within a few frames.

When a system is more exquisite, it is more difficult for users to leave room for customization, but Flyme 9 is just the opposite.

Whether it is the AOD display on the screen or the cool Alive wallpaper, it supports the free addition of personal photos. Even when installing the program, there is no need to worry about third-party icons that will destroy the system’s overall beauty. Everything can be optimized by Flyme 9 to complete the adaptation.

In terms of functionality, the biggest surprise comes from two aspects. One is the new small window mode 3.0, and the other is complete privacy protection.

If the previous generation of small windows is of great use-value, then the small window mode 3.0 is almost perfect. The lightweight opening has become a daily routine ing Flyme 9, and floating small windows have also become the first choice for multi-threaded operations. Once I change the phone and go back to the system where the screen must be cut, I will be a little uncomfortable and feel that the operation is a lot more troublesome.

Although Flyme 9 is not the first mainstream system to follow up in terms of privacy protection, it has also submitted a better answer. In the system’s privacy management, it is easy to prohibit one size fits all, but Flyme is not the case. Dynamic permission control, limited release of permissions, but at the same time protecting core privacy. This is the most appropriate strategy that can take care of daily experience and privacy, and security.

Finally, under these advancements, Flyme 9 has one of the most important features, that is, 0 ads, 0 push, and 0 pre-installation. In terms of user experience, Flyme 9 has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, abandoning a major source of income and providing users with a purer system. This alone is worthy of admiration and is far better than other products.

If you ask me how Flyme 9 is, after experiencing it, my answer is: This is a system that will never let you down. This upgrade is far from being as simple as changing a theme. At the same time, my expectation for it is the same as before; that is, how fast the adaptation is. Although stability is the king, many charm friends are looking forward to it. It is worth mentioning that Flyme 9 is pre-installed on the Meizu 18 series. If you can’t wait, you might as well take this opportunity to change your plane and try it out first.
